Algorithmic Puzzles

Więcej o książce

While many associate algorithms with computer science, algorithmic thinking fundamentally involves using analytical logic to solve problems, extending into the engaging realm of puzzles. Anany and Maria Levitin present a unique collection of classic brainteasers and modern examples from corporate job interviews to demonstrate how to apply analytical thinking in solving puzzles that require well-defined procedures. The book includes tutorials on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques, guiding readers step-by-step through various problem-solving approaches. Mastering strategies such as exhaustive search, backtracking, and divide-and-conquer will enhance readers' abilities to tackle not only the puzzles in this collection but also those encountered in interviews and everyday scenarios. Each of the 150 puzzles features hints and solutions, along with insights into their origins and solution methods. Catering to all skill levels, this book allows readers with only middle school mathematics to develop their algorithmic problem-solving skills through elementary puzzles, while seasoned solvers can enjoy the challenge of more complex ones.
